A Birthday Pint ......

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good week.   I have been away for 5 days at Euro Disney and had such an amazing time!  Grace loved every minute of it as we all did!  Seeing her little face and hearing her say wow and amazing so many times just made it so special!  This is one of the 1337 photos I took whilst I was there, I think they will keep me going in scrapbook pages for quite sometime!

Anyway back to my card, it's my husband Will's Birthday today and this is the card I made him.  We are off to Pizza Hut for lunch and then popping into town as we are still on leave this week although Will has to go back to work tomorrow.  

I would like to enter my card into this month's Digi Stamp Boutique Customer Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Some Christmas Inspiration .............

Hi everyone and happy Monday! I'm not at work today so this is a very happy Monday for me! I'm on leave all this week so I have lots of nice days out planned! 

I have a Xmas bag to share with you today which I made using a Pink Gem - Christmas Teddies Bumper Kit.  You get several layers of the Teddy to decoupage up as well as the flowers and the sentiment so you get some lovely dimension. 

I also made a matching card to go with it using the same topper but just resized to fit onto a 6 x 6 card:

A Birthday Card ..............

Hi everyone, I hope your week has got off to a good start.  I have a card to share with you tonight that I made using a sketch from the Cardabilities sketch challenge blog.   I got out my neglected embossing powders for this card and used a white embossing powder for the sentiment and then I used a gold sparkly embossing power on the leaves.   I also used some new flowers that I got from the Ribbon Girl with a voucher that I won in a recent challenge, my Memory box bunting die and a few sequins to finish. 

Thanks for stopping by.
